Shreyas Iyer delivered a masterclass under pressure, blasting an unbeaten 87 off 41 balls as Punjab Kings chased down 204 against Mumbai Indians to reach the IPL 2025 final — their first in 11 years. Iyer's knock, laced with 8 sixes and 5 fours, powered PBKS to victory in just 19 overs in Qualifier 2 at Ahmedabad. He shared a vital 84-run stand with Nehal Wadhera (48 off 29) to dismantle MI’s bowling, including Jasprit Bumrah. Punjab will now face Royal Challengers Bengaluru on June 3, guaranteeing a first-time IPL champion. This innings is being hailed as Iyer’s finest. (PC: PTI)
